To be honest, I have never really looked into nutrition, but I am willing to now. I need to get more alartness, be able to pay attention easier (naturally all the time instead of always thinking about it, so I wont make any mistakes and missunderstand things), and not hesitate with anything (slow response). Lack of nutrition may be the only factor for this, but if there can be something else, let me know and I'll look into that as well and work on it.


and your saying I am not getting much protein at breakfast or dinner. What if I get a lot at lunch? Salad, veggies, chicken, salmon, tunafish, beans, etc...has protein right? I hardly know anything about the nutrition stuff, but I read whats on the label and can follow that..or is there more to learn than that? During my breaks at work, I eat mostly fruits (either a banana, yogurt (has protein in it), watermellon, or Dole Manderin Oranges (in a little contaner and a bunch of little orange thingies with the juice on the outside). I am also planning to look around in the grocery store after work sometimes and see what they have that I can also eat for snacks too during my 10 minute breaks. I work at a grocery store by the way (bagger).
